A. WOMAN FROM AUSTRIA.

=. ~
: Near the village of Zillingdorf,
in Lower Austria, lives Maria
Haas, an intelligent and industri-
Gus woman, whose story of ply
steal suffering and final relief. as
related by herself, is of interest
to English women. II was en-
ployed," she says, :" in the work
of a large farmhouse. Over
work brought on sick headache,
followed by a deathly fainting|
and sickness Of the stomache, UNI
til | was unable to retain either
food or drink. | was compelled
to take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting a little better
from rest and quiet, | sought to
do some work, but was oontaken
with a pain in my side, which in
a little while seemed to spread
over my whole body, and throb-
bed in my every limb. This was
followed by a cough and short
ness of breath, until finally I
could not sew, and l took to my
bed for the second, and, as I
thought, for the last time. My
friends told me that my time had
nearly come, and that / could
not live longer than when the
trees put on their green once
more. Then | happened to get
one Of the Seigel pamphlets. I
read it, and my dear mother
bought me a bottle of SMGEL's
SYRUP, Shaker Extract of Roots)
which | took exactly according
to directions, and I had not taken
the whole of it before I felt a
change for the better. My last
illness began June, Sd, 1882, and
continued to August 9th, when |
began to take the Syrup. Very
soon | could do a little light work.
The cough left me, and | was no
more troubled in breathing. Now
| am perfectly cured; and oh,
how happy | am! / cannot ex-
press gratitude enough for SMG-
ELS SYRUP Shaker Extract of
Roots). Now I must tell you
that the doctors in our district
distributed handbills cautioning
the people against the medicine,
telling them it would do no good,
and many were thereby infiu-
enced to destroy the Seigel
pamphlets; but now, whenever
one is to be found, it is kept like
a relic. The few preserved are
borrowed to read, and | have lent
mine for six miles around our.
district. People have come eigh-
teen miles to get me to buy the
medicine for them, knowing that
it cured me, and to be sure to get
the right kind. know a woman
who was looking like death, and
who told them there was no help
for her, that she had consulted
several doctors, but none could
help her. I told her of Seigel's
Syrup, and wrote the name down
for her that she might make no
mistake. She took my advice
and the Syrup, and now she is in
perfect health, and the people
around us are amazed. The med
icine has made such progress in
our neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, but they take the Syrup.
Sufferers from govt who were
confined to their beds and could
hardly move a finger have been
cured by it. There is a girl in
our district who caught a cold by
going through some water, and
was in bed five years with cos
tiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to
have an attendant to watch by her. There
was not a doctor in the surrounding dis
trict to whom her mother had not APP
piled to relieve her child, but every one
crossed themselves and said they could
not help her. Whenever the little bell
| rang, which Is rung in our place when
anybody is dead, we thought surely it was
for her; but Ssigel's SyrupandPills(Sh ak-
er Extract of Roots) saved her life, and
now she 10 as healthy as anybody, goes to
church, and can work even in the fields.
Everybody was astonished when they
saw her out, knowing how many years
she had been in bed. To-day she adds
her gratitude to mine for Gods mercies
and Seigel's Syrup. MARIA HAAS.
Shaker Medicines are now being sold
in all parts of the world, and are work
ing wonders, as shown in the above case.
